Unit price perEstimated delivery between November 01 and November 03.
This 24 Hour Digital Plug Timer provides simple automatic control of compatible mains-powered equipment from a standard UK socket. The digital display and programmable switching function allow connected equipment to be turned on and off automatically, removing the need for daily manual switching.
A useful accessory for lighting, fans, pumps and other suitable electrical equipment, the timer plugs directly into a UK wall socket with the appliance then connected to the timer's front socket.
Digital programming provides greater flexibility than a basic mechanical segment timer and is particularly useful where equipment needs to follow a consistent daily operating schedule.
Why choose a 24 Hour Digital Plug Timer?
- Automatic switching - turns compatible connected equipment on and off according to the programmed schedule.
- Digital control - straightforward LCD display and push-button programming.
- Daily scheduling - useful for equipment that needs to operate at consistent times.
- UK plug-in format - connects directly between a standard UK socket and compatible equipment.
- Manual control - front controls allow the operating mode to be changed when required.
- Compact design - no separate controller or wall mounting is required.
- Multiple applications - useful for suitable lighting, ventilation, circulation and irrigation equipment.
- Consistent operation - helps maintain regular equipment schedules without relying on manual switching.
- Simple setup - programming is carried out directly from the buttons and digital display.
- Trade outer quantity - supplied to us in outer boxes of 50 units.
Automatic control for everyday electrical equipment
Plug-in timers are a simple way to automate equipment that only needs to receive power during predetermined periods. Once programmed, the timer controls the electrical supply to the connected appliance automatically.
This can be useful for suitable lighting, circulation fans, pumps and other equipment where a repeatable operating schedule is required.
Always check the electrical requirements and switching characteristics of the equipment being connected. High-inrush equipment and HID lighting systems can place considerably greater demands on a timer during start-up than their normal running wattage suggests.
Digital programming
The LCD display makes it easy to view the timer's clock and programming settings. Dedicated control buttons are positioned beneath the display for setting and adjusting the required switching programme.
Compared with a traditional mechanical timer, a digital timer removes the need to set physical segments around a dial and provides a clear numerical display when checking the programmed time.
Useful for lighting, ventilation & irrigation schedules
Maintaining consistent operating periods is important across many horticultural applications. A plug-in timer can automate suitable lighting periods, ventilation schedules or irrigation equipment without somebody having to switch the appliance manually each day.
For pumps and other irrigation equipment, make sure the connected device is suitable for timer-controlled operation and that the timer itself is kept away from water and excessive moisture.
Choosing the correct timer for your equipment
The electrical load should always be checked before connecting equipment to a plug-in timer. Do not assume that an appliance is suitable simply because its normal running wattage appears low.
In particular, HID lighting ballasts and some motors can produce a high start-up or inrush current. Where a high-load lighting system is being controlled, use a suitably rated contactor or dedicated lighting controller rather than placing an unsuitable load directly through a general-purpose timer.
The timer should be used in a suitable dry environment and must not be overloaded. Always follow the electrical ratings marked on the individual timer supplied.

24 Hour Digital Plug Timer FAQs
Is this a UK plug timer?
Yes. The timer shown uses a standard UK 3-pin socket format for compatible UK mains equipment.
Can I use this timer for lighting?
It can be used with suitable lighting equipment provided the electrical and switching load is within the timer's stated rating. High-inrush HID lighting may require a separate contactor or dedicated lighting controller.
Can I use the timer for a fan?
It can be used with compatible fans where the electrical load and start-up characteristics fall within the timer's rating. Check the specifications of both the fan and timer before use.
Can a digital timer control an irrigation pump?
Potentially, provided the pump is designed for timer-controlled operation and its electrical requirements are suitable. The timer itself should be kept in an appropriate dry location away from water.
Why choose a digital timer instead of a mechanical timer?
A digital timer uses an LCD display and push-button programming rather than physical dial segments, making it convenient where a clearly displayed programmed schedule is preferred.
Can I plug a 600W HID ballast directly into this timer?
Do not judge suitability from the 600W running figure alone. HID ballasts can create a substantial start-up current, so a suitably rated contactor or dedicated lighting controller may be required. Always check the timer and ballast specifications before connection.
Can this timer be used outdoors?
It should not be assumed to be weatherproof. Unless the individual unit is specifically marked with an appropriate environmental rating, use it only in a suitable dry location.
Does it have a manual control?
The timer shown includes a manual control button, allowing the operating mode to be changed directly from the unit when required.
How many timers are in an outer box?
The outer case quantity for this product is 50 timers. Individual units can still be sold separately unless otherwise stated.
